Chapter 1279: 1365: An Egg Against a Rock

Capítulo 1279: Chapter 1365: An Egg Against a Rock“It’s fake. Although I’m not entirely sure what exactly is going on, I am certain that the real Langya Pavilion Master is not present at the scene.”

Su Xuan said with a firm expression. Su Xuan never believed in any old immortals. He had already reached the anti-ancestor stage in his power, almost touching the peak of human combat power. Yet, it was impossible for him to create a flame in his palm just by opening his hand, and even less possible for his body to disintegrate into smoke and reassemble after being pierced. Clearly, there was an issue.

Su Xuan didn’t believe humans could achieve such feats. Even though he could dodge bullets, that was just dodging; it was impossible to block a bullet with the body. It’s like an egg hitting a stone; no matter how hard the egg is, it can’t beat the stone—it’s determined by innate attributes.

The key evidence was Di Nvhua’s reaction.

“I was the one who stabbed the Langya Pavilion Master with that strike. At that time, I noticed that when Di Nvhua saw her grandfather being pierced, she didn’t show any sign of worry. That’s abnormal, even if she knew he couldn’t be killed, she would have shown concern, but she didn’t. This indicates that Di Nvhua had long known that wasn’t the real Langya Pavilion Master.”

Su Xuan explained softly. Another reason for Su Xuan’s suspicion was that when Di Nvhua asked him for medicine, she wasn’t looking at her grandfather but at the monitors, which further heightened Su Xuan’s suspicion.

“Then who is the real Langya Pavilion Master?” At that moment, Dugu Lang could hardly believe it was true. The Langya Pavilion Master might have been fake from the start, so who is the real Langya Pavilion Master all these years?

“It could very well be someone insignificant, perhaps someone everyone overlooked. The real depth of Langya Pavilion isn’t the Thousand-faced Man, but the Langya Pavilion Master.”

Su Xuan chuckled coldly. Indeed, the Langya Pavilion Master was deeply sinister and mysterious. Such a person’s unidentified true identity was terrifying.

“Speaking of the heart, why didn’t the Thousand-faced Man take action this time?”

Suddenly, Dugu Lang recalled this person and hurriedly spoke.

“That bastard recognized me and ran away! Damn, I intended to use him, but didn’t expect it not to work. Notify our people to track his location and get ready to capture him.”

Su Xuan was somewhat frustrated. He had planned to use the Thousand-faced Man to probe the Langya Pavilion Master’s capabilities, but unexpectedly, that guy recognized him, leaving Su Xuan a bit irritated.

“Yes!” Dugu Lang agreed, understanding the gravity of the situation. Su Xuan’s identity had always been a mystery, and exposure would be dangerous.

“By the way, help me procure some items.”

Su Xuan said, handing a list to Dugu Lang.

“Su Xuan, what are these for?”

Though Dugu Lang didn’t want to ask, he couldn’t help it. The items on the list seemed quite expensive, and it was uncertain if they could be obtained.

“Heh, I’m not sure if I can get them now, but I can experiment.”

Su Xuan smiled faintly.

“Alright, I’ll handle it now.”

After agreeing, Dugu Lang left quickly. The items Su Xuan requested were indeed high-end, some unavailable even in Jinyuan. Dugu Lang immediately leveraged all available resources to procure them, prioritizing Su Xuan’s needs above expenses.

When Su Xuan first mentioned helping him become the Langya Pavilion Master, he didn’t expect much success, but he knew he had no choice.

Back then, Su Xuan had used the Huayang Acupoint technique to control him. It was a forced situation, to be honest. In his eyes, the Langya Pavilion Master had always been a godlike figure, seemingly omniscient and omnipotent.

Therefore, no one in Langya Pavilion dared to oppose them, believing they were unbeatable. Yet, after Su Xuan arrived, he completely shattered the balance painstakingly cultivated by the Langya Pavilion Master over decades within days.

This time, he killed Hua Jian directly in front of the Langya Pavilion Master and successfully framed them, which was simply amazing.

Although Hua Shenjian said nothing, Dugu Lang clearly understood that Langya Pavilion’s balance had been thoroughly disrupted.

The Hua Family said nothing, but naturally, the Langya Pavilion Master would go all out against the Hua Family, as the Langya Pavilion Master never allowed potential threats to exist, rather erring on the side of eliminating them—a known motto.

Everyone knew this, and so did the Hua Family. Hence, these two families had broken their balance, and being allies, they shared close ties. This escalated the situation into a grand spectacle.

In just a few days, Dugu Lang felt as if he were watching an exciting play as he watched Su Xuan disrupt the entire Langya Pavilion step by step.

So now, whatever Su Xuan requested, she would give her all. Su Xuan took out a pen in the room and began drawing and revising on paper. After a whole morning, drafts filled the pages. Su Xuan looked, satisfied, and nodded.

“Knock knock knock…”

At this moment, a knock sounded. Upon hearing the knocking, Su Xuan got up to open the door, finding a man in black standing outside.

“Mr. Su, the Thousand-faced Man has been completely locked in and is now at Juxian Villa.”

This man was Dugu Lang’s most trusted aide and was very respectful to Su Xuan.

“Good, let’s go meet the Thousand-faced Man now.”

Su Xuan said as he walked out, followed closely by the man in black, soon arriving at Juxian Villa.

Juxian Villa was a hotel, and it seemed the Thousand-faced Man had realized he was being followed, so he entered such a crowded place.

“Mr. Su, he entered half an hour ago, and we have all exits sealed.”

Another man ran up to Su Xuan, speaking earnestly.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Su Xuan pointed at the man in black who had come with him, then entered Juxian Villa.

The hotel’s business was booming, with people coming and going. The man in black whispered.

“Mr. Su, our people tried to capture him, but that rascal was too skillful, so we had no choice but to trap him here.”

Looking at Su Xuan, the man in black seemed somewhat embarrassed, indicating his inefficiency had allowed that person to enter.

Since there were so many people in Juxian Villa, it was naturally more difficult and challenging to locate someone.

“It’s fine, as long as he’s trapped.”
